A family owning a nightclub in Shreveport, Louisiana and their employes experience the turbulent era America is moving through in the year 2017. Bound together by difficult, dark past experiences, they stick together out of necessity. Like other Americans, conflict, struggle, and inequality surround them, but they are equalized in a moment caused by something they cannot control, the unstoppable power of nature. They must rely on their own unique creativity and resourcefulness to survive and move forward, and in the process of doing so, realize their diversity is what made them strong all along. Funk music, burlesque dancers, and singers put money in their pockets and food on their tables. The bizarre beauty of their culture can not be destroyed. It only grows and evolves, faster and faster the warmer things get, like the curious ecosystem surrounding them.
